ThesageRabochaya Gazetahas assured its readers
that Plekhanov and Lenin are allies because both oppose the Stockholm
conference of the social-chauvinists.Rabochaya Gazetaconfines
itself to issuing a few shouts, saying not a word about our arguments in
substance, and keepingsilent about the fact that this conference is ascreenfor
capitalist diplomats!

Thisis a cheap trick!

Marxistsmust tell the people the truth and expose the tricks of the
diplomats operatingthroughthe social-chauvinists.

NoMarxist will allow himself, asRabochaya Gazetadoes, to
keep silent about the fact that the refusal of the French
social-chauvinistsmeansa desire on the part of the Anglo-French
and Russian bourgeoisie to drag out the war until Germany’s total defeat.
